[一个幸福的家庭英文作文

我家的一条规矩

鸟儿有冬去春来的规矩，花朵又按时开放的规矩，大树有结果落叶的规矩。各家都有各家的规矩，自然，我家也不例外。猜猜看，我家有什么稀奇古怪的规矩呢？

早上起床是一件很痛苦的事，我不情愿地在闹钟“大叔”的吵闹声中爬了起来，心情很是差劲，看什么都不顺眼。迷迷糊糊来到卫生间，正准备洗脸刷牙。哎！我那扁扁的牙膏管，它似乎只剩下外面一层皮了，先出憔悴的模样。我使出吃奶的劲儿用力挤，从下往上，一点儿，一点儿……可是，牙膏口就是不给面子，它就是扭扭捏捏的，不愿从嘴巴里送出牙膏。我只好再来一次，但已经心生抱怨：“都说了没牙膏啦！还不给我买。我挤！我挤……”当失败N次后，我爆发了：“这什么牙膏呀！快点给我买！讨厌死了！”妈妈围着围裙走了进来，看了看我，一声不响地挤起牙膏皮来。一下，两下，牙膏竟然出来了！我连忙把它涂在了牙刷上。“忘了咱家的规矩吗？节俭！这世界上有的人买牙膏的钱都没有呢！”妈妈转身出门了，又笑嘻嘻地一扭头，“我看，这牙膏还能用三次！“什么啊——”虽然还有抱怨，但我内心突然明畅了许多。”

吃饭时间终于到了！我可是饿得头晕目眩了呀！冲向饭桌，我来不及估计自己吃多少，就盛了满满一大碗饭和一碗汤。喝了一口汤，暖暖的；再来一口青菜，就着米饭，真香啊！我正怡然自得。但情况接下来就不妙了——我吃不下啦！我摸着肚皮，哀求老爸：“我能不能把饭倒掉……”老爸一脸严肃：“珍惜粮食，这是我们家节俭的规矩！吃多少，盛多少；盛多少，吃多少！快吃！”我只好艰辛地吞下一碗饭，真饱啊……

这下知道我家的规矩了吧！从这些事看来，我虽然是“受害者”，但我从爸爸妈妈上读懂了一种高尚的传统 ——勤俭节约！希望在这种规矩的“训练”下，我也能成为像爸爸妈妈那样的人。

A Happy Family幸福的家庭

I have a happy family. Though there is only a little furniture in my home and everything in the rooms seems rather disorderly, I love my home very much.

My father is an engineer, nearly fifty years old. As a Party member, quite often he works late into the night. He even forgets himself when he is reading. Once when having supper, I found that the soup tasted watery. It soon became clear that my father, deep in his reading, had forgotten to put salt in the soup.

I have a kind mother. She is a primary school teacher. She loves her pupils and her job very much and puts all her heart into her work. All our clothes are made by tailors, for she is too busy to sew for us. As a housewife, she has to do almost all the housework. So she is the busiest one in our family.

We all keep a lot of books and we love reading. During our leisure time, reading is our main hobby. Evening is the happiest hour in our family. We usually sit in my parents room, reading and discussing everything were interested in.

I love my family. It not only gives me much happiness and warmth but also teaches me how to be a real man.

我有一个幸福的家庭。尽管家里只有很少几件家具而且房内显得有些零乱，但我却很爱我家。

爸爸是一位工程师，年龄将近50岁。作为·党员；他常常工作到深夜，在读书时他甚至能把自己忘了。曾经有一次吃晚饭时，我觉得汤淡得没味。很快真相大白，原来是爸爸埋头于读书而忘了加盐。

我妈妈很和蔼可亲。她是一名小学老师。她很喜欢她的学生和她的工作，把全部心血投入到了工作中。我们的衣服都是由裁缝做的，她因为太忙而．没时间给我们缝制。作为家庭主妇，她几乎做了全部家务。所以她是全家最忙的人。

我家有很多藏书，我们很喜欢读书。闲暇时间，读书便是我们的最大爱好。晚上是我们家最幸福的时光。我们通常坐在父母的房间里读书、讨论我们感兴趣的问题。

我爱我家，它不仅给我快乐、温暖，而且教我做人。

Dear Miss Brown,

I am writing to express my sincere thanks to you for caring me in the last

two years. During the days of being your student, I learn a lot. Firstly, your

serious attitude towards teaching and our students moves me too much. You

inspire and push me to work harder and harder. Secondly, I fall in love with

English under the influence of you. As a student of science and engineering,

I’ve been thinking that English does no good to me, but you help me to find the

fabulous glamour of English that leads me to know a totally different world and

develop a different way of thinking. Finally, your continuous encouragement

supports me a lot when I meet challenges or difficulties. You said that

everything to the last will certainly become a good thing, if it is not, not yet

to the last. Every time, remembering your words, I am so inspired to keep

going.

Above all, I want to say thank you again and please accept my sincere

appreciation. Best wishes for you.

最后，请允许我再次向您表达我的感谢，接受我真诚的谢意。献上最美好的祝福。

Books as the name implies, pride and prejudice, and in the book is male leading the obstacle of the love, but in the real society is also a communication barriers between people, but also in the right attitude towards themselves, treat things in a stumbling block. In real life, we will also often because of his unilateral idea but myself with others, so we have to overcome the "pride and prejudice", take the initiative to understand others. Each person actually are easy to be driven by their own subjective impression, and therefore easy to incorrect comment on other people, thus caused the misunderstanding between each other. A man give first impression is can affect many things, but not must not change, want to have a more in-depth understanding, in order to have a more objective point argument, just like the heroine of the story of darcys view, is because understanding just change. The book reaction of social reality is so hit the nail on the head, she is about marriage, has nothing to do with love.

伊丽莎白聪敏机智，有胆识，有远见，有很强的自尊心，并善于思考问题。正是由于这种品质，才使她在情感问题上有独立的主见，并促使她与达西组成美满的家庭。

书如其名，傲慢与偏见，在书中是男女主角爱情上的障碍，但在现实社会中也是人们相互之间交流的障碍，更是在正确对待自己，对待事物上的绊脚石。在现实生活中，我们也会经常因为自己单方面的想法而是自己与他人隔开，所以我们要克服“傲慢与偏见”，主动了解他人。每一个人其实都很容易被自己的主观印象所驱使，因而容易对别的人下不正确的注解，进而造成了彼此之间的误会。一个人所给予的第一印象固然可以影响到很多事，但并非一定不会改变，要有更加深入的了解，才能有更客观一点的论点，就好像故事中女主角对达西的看法，就是因为了解才有所改变。此书反应的社会现实确是如此一针见血，她讲的是婚姻，与爱情无关。

This book is about a Cuban old fisherman named diego, a man fishing alone, in the 84 days after nothing caught a big marlin. This is the old man never seen nor heard of than his boat two feet longer a big fish. Big fish strength is big, dragging the boat drifted for two days and two nights, the old man has experienced in the past two days and two nights have never suffered tough test, finally put the big shark fin die, tied to the bow. At this time, however, encountered a shark, the old man and the shark dogfight, result the big marlin was shark ate up, old man finally dragged home only a pair of bare fish skeleton.

After reading this novel, I found that the old mans story is not only a symbol of the relationship between human and nature, and a symbol of the whole human spirit indestructible. In reality, though he failed, but in spirit, he is the winner. Here, the old man is not only represents a person, but to represent a force, a kind of spirit, that is to let a person admire perseverance, the spirit of never yielding. I also very admire the novel old fishermans will, he let me know how a man must be strong, cant meet the frustration is losing, that will never be a one thing.

一个简单的故事，一个平凡的老人，一条普通的大马林鱼，在茫茫大海上发生了看似平凡而又不平凡的经历。

这本书讲了古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼，在一无所获的84天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大，拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜，老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验，终于把大鱼刺死，拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，结果大马林鱼被鲨鱼吃光了，老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。

读完这篇小说，我发现，老人的故事不仅象征着人与自然的关系，而且象征着整个人类坚不可摧的精神。在现实中，他虽然失败了，但在精神上，他却是胜利者。在这里，老人不仅仅是代表着一个人，而是代表了一股力量，一种精神，那是让人敬佩的坚韧不拔，永不服输的精神。我也十分佩服小说中老渔夫的意志,他让我懂得了一个人一定要坚强，不能遇到一点挫折就败退，这样永远也做不成一件事。
